Cost of Benefits Question. What are employees paying monthly towards their own Healthcare insurance as a payroll deduction for full family coverage? I am seeing as low as $600 and up to $3000 for a family. Is the $2500+ a month an anomaly? TIA

I am paying about 81 every 2 weeks for a high deductible (HSA eligible) family medical plan plus just over 22 for family dental every 2 weeks. My company covers about 80% of the total premium for medical, and about 60% for dental.

Premiums differ across these plans for a variety of specific reasons:
Plan Tiers (Metal Levels & Networks): Plans with lower deductibles and broader access to doctors (like PPOs) require higher monthly premiums. Conversely, High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) offer lower premiums in exchange for more out-of-pocket spending during care.
Family Size & Dependents: Insuring a spouse or children increases the potential for claims, driving up your premium. Employers typically subsidize employee premiums more heavily than those for dependents.
Employer Subsidies: Employers set their own contribution percentages, which dictates how much of the total premium they will pay versus what they pass onto you. To steer employees toward more cost-effective plans, an employer might intentionally increase the premium on a richer, more expensive plan.
Group Claims History: Employer-sponsored plans undergo annual renewals. If an employee group (or overall industry) has high medical utilization or a history of expensive claims, the insurer will raise rates.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid."

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
